As I bit into a shiny red apple last night, I remembered my short-loved, fruit-related rebellious stage. My parents always told me to wash my fruit before eating. After years of mindlessly obeying their command, I decided one day to stop the water-wasting cycle. For about a year, I refused to wash my apples, oranges, pears and strawberries. (I still rinsed peaches to remove the excess fuzz.) These days, I am happy to report, I thoroughly rinse all fruit.
On a related note, my grandmother used to wash her fruit with soap and water.

The pesticides are 12% of the flavor.
Yum! At least you can wash of the e.coli germs.
bananas are great. eating one is like taking off a giant condom.
Taking one off? I thought that you learned how to apply them using bananas :)?
